The Utrecht institute of Linguistics OTS is a research
institute of the Faculty of Arts of Utrecht University. UiL OTS seeks
to promote intensive cooperation between several areas of linguistics
and related disciplines outside linguistics such as logic, computer
science, and cognitive sciences. Specific domains of interdisciplinary
co-operation are: the lexicon, primary and secondary language
acquisition, language teaching, human language processing, relations
between language, logic and information, discourse and conversation
analysis, language and speech pathology, text linguistics, text design
and evaluation, and language and speech technology. UiL OTS takes as
one of its main objectives the transfer of information to groups and
institutions external to the university.
